Author has written 11 stories for Bonanza.

Hello, SierraGirlBZ here...

I'm now into my fourth year of writing fanfic. And I love it!

I still consider myself to be a relative newbie, as to date I've only written about twelve or so complete stories. I'm not hugely prolific as I take so long over each story, trying to find the best words, conjuring up what I hope is convincing dialogue, researching my chosen era, etc. I want to give anyone who takes the time to read my stories the best reading experience they can have, and a chance to lose themselves in a different world for a short while.

My subject? Well it can only be the best American western ever made - Bonanza. And number one character? Who else but the original man in black, the one and only Adam Cartwright. Adam will be the main character in all the stories I write.

I love the entire process of writing including all the research that goes into creating a story set in a particular time and place. My best friend is my well-thumbed thesaurus.

I'm a Brit so if I occasionally get American 19th century vernacular wrong, please forgive me.

I enjoy reading feedback and comments even though it can be nerve-wracking at times. Will they like it? Ahhhh phew!

I have loads more ideas buzzing around my head, desperate to be brought to life on paper, and I fully intend to put as many as possible down on paper. Oh to have the time to write 24 hours a day!

Enjoy!
